If you are an asylum migrant or family migrant and you fall under the scope of the new Civic Integration Act – please see the letter titled Notification of Civic Integration Requirement: Wi2021 – it is also important that your contact person of the municipality you live in gives you permission to follow a course at the Language Centre and that you have a civic integration and participation plan (PIP, Plan Inburgering en Participatie). Please check this before you register for the Study Skills Test.
The Study Skills Test is a short test that provides information about the speed with which you are able to learn a language. The test will assess the skills that make learning a language easier. It will not test your Dutch language skills, so it does not matter whether you already speak Dutch or not.
The test will be done on the computer. At the start of the test, you will receive instructions from one of our staff members in English and Dutch. You will have to do the test completely independently, of course, and without any resources. The explanation included in the test is available in many languages. The test is held roughly once every two weeks, in a group setting.
Within two business days after completing the test, you will receive an email with your test result. There are three options:
If you have been given permission to book an online intake interview, you can pick a day and time of your choosing on our website. Usually, the interview can take place within five business days. During the intake interview, you will talk to a teacher about your background, your experience with learning new languages, your current situation, and your plans in the Netherlands. At the end of this interview, the teacher will decide whether you can start with a course at the Language Centre and, if so, at what level. After that, you can register for a course at the Language Centre via our website, provided there is enough space.
The advice you receive after the Study Skills Test is binding. You are not allowed to do this test more than once.
